Overall Competitiveness: Somewhat competitive. They are trying to innovate and become more established, but are still very small and slow-moving.

Years in Business: Since 1998.

Strategy: They rely on advertising through arenas such as pay-per-click and other private search. They are basically using the same technology, such as clustering, as all the others but branding it and marketing it differently.

Strengths: They are small but seem to be thriving because of good marketing and a decent product. They are geared towards innovation and the future, so they could conceivably come up with something new in a few years.
Weaknesses: Their usability is poor. They are very slow and are stuck in the same old form as their competitors.
